Academic Support Session with Matthew Phull – Appendix and Reference List specifics
This week, I completed the final draft of my 1000 word report. The outstanding work was to correctly organise and format my Primary Research findings, related to my Appendices and Reference List.
On Thursday 2nd November, Mathew Phull kindly gave up some of his time for an in-depth look at the final draft of my report, where I shared and explained each Appendix item, along with where and how I would like to present or refer to them. Together we decided on the best cause of action. I found this to be very helpful and settling, and ‘the final piece of the puzzle’ was now able to be completed.
Final Reflections, Thoughts and Feelings
This has been a very illuminating unit. It has allowed the opportunity for my studies and my job as Programme Manager at the Claremont Project to come together. It has shown that the two are complementing each other well, with the ‘arts for health and wellbeing’ research relating to Patchworks deepening my knowledge of the field and corresponding needs within the Claremont Project membership of older adults.
The assignments in this unit have required me to research and learn new academic processes, such as using an Appendix, incorporating graphs and illustrations, presenting Primary research in an academic context and writing a Business Report for the first time. This has allowed a great level of learning for me, along with the chance to solidify my areas of interest, encourage my ambition and make me feel more confident for future assignments.
